The Secret Millionaire

Hilary Devey (3x6)


: 09, 2008

Fifty-one-year-old Hilary Devey has built up a business turning over £100 million a year in the male-dominated haulage industry. Now Hilary wants to give something back, so she's going undercover on a tough housing estate in her native north west. Growing up in Bolton, near Manchester, Hilary was driven by her publican dad's ethos: "If you can walk, eat and sleep, you can work." She travels to Rochdale, just a few miles from Bolton, to live undercover for ten days on the Falinge estate, which has a reputation as a no-go area, and is notorious for having the highest percentage of people on incapacity benefits in the country.
